Why does no one ever go for the 390XP?

 

It's 0.1 KW less powerful than the 395XP, but quite a bit lighter. What's wrong with it?

 

I did . Spud ported my 390 . In standard trim it was not as aggressively ported as the older 385 that I had stolen but now its as good if not better . Bottom line though its not as good as a 395 . I am lucky as I have both . 390 runs 28" 3/8 and 395 runs 36" .404 so different jobs .

Cool. I used one for a few minutes just playing around a few years ago in America. That was modified too by a guy I met in California, who showed me a bit a about porting. Never got any done by him 'cause I couldn't then get them to the UK on the plane.

660 had problems with chain brake locking on when hot or not locking on when hot, I'm not that keen on Stihl anyway though, I do just find husqy get on with me better, I find them more comfortable to use
